Hey Kev! Not a problem at all buddy. I'd rather share that kind of stuff. It was gifted to me, least i can do is pass it along when i no longer need it! Hopefully it goes right for it! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
 
Hannaford around here has it but it's not in an aisle, just a stand in like the next aisle over type of thing.
I'll have the wife look on hannafprd to go. That way i'm not wandering around looking at end caps haha
 
Good afternoon all and Mr. Kevin! Here's a shot of my tang gand minus the Gem to put something reef related on here along with your box. WHAT'S IN THERE! PICS!

Howdy Orly, they are coming!
 
The mandarins are very small about an inch and the twinspots are even smaller. Added them with the lights out and they headed to tinge rock work and I haven’t seen them since I turned the lights back on. I couldn’t get a picture of them but they are so cute! I’ve never named a fish before but I think I’m going to name them both little Tim ( like Daryl and Daryl) in honor of Tim.

if she kills ya, tell her I will come get it
I texted @tharbin because I know he's a fan of this brand.

We watch TV and movies maybe 10 hours a week and really don't play much music so they wouldn't get enough proper use at my house.
 
The CBB is adorable and big, about the size of my yellow Tang . The yellow tang was the one I was worried about due to similar size and shape. It hassled the CBB for about 20 minutes and now it’s leaving her alone. He did the same thing to my eilbi angel.

my plan is no corals until I am over the ugly stage. Will be using microbactor clean, adding pods, and dosing phyto also.
I tried that once but it has been a LOT of years and I'm still ugly.

I have a home stereo project on the books, it involves an ac to dc converter, four 3 way 6x9 speakers and my 10 inch sub and two 400 watt amps. I will have to replace the outdated Alpine CD player with a more modern Bluetooth capable player. Going to make this a home stereo that can be portable with duel power hook ups
 
Okay, I've got to stop trying to catch up for now. I had no idea that #Smorgasbadafterdark and now #Smorgasbord were going for Guiness Book of Records for longest playing posts of the century. I finally made it through afterdark after only four and a half hours and thought I was catching up until I hit the almost two hour Norah Jones festival. If you need me I'll be at the Norah Jones album. Good thing I'm retired or I would have been fired by now.

every time I try to catch up, i fall farther behind
 
Worth the risk! I'm a big Klipsch fan and that's a fantastic deal assuming no blown drivers!
Tell your wife that there’s recent studies showing music played through Klipsch speakers produced a 15% growth increase with corals.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🙃 🙃
